UPDATE: I've since bought a second one of these. The first was the Cherry MX Blue version and the new one is the Brown version. I thought for sure that I would end up being a "cherry blue guy" but honestly after only 10 minutes with these keys I'm sold. Browns from here on out, they give the same tactile feedback if you are used to typing on blues just without the audible "click". Belvie me, if you live with other people, they won't appreciate your late night typing on blues! I still stand by my words that this is a fantastic mechanical keyboard and considering the super low price of the Brown version right now, it's a no brainer if you want a new board or just want to dive into the realm of mechanical keyboards. Also, for what it's worth; I've also tried some of those cheap Chinese/Korean knock off keyboards with the Alps style switches, and while they work good enough, there is nothing like typing on a Cherry key.The Logitech G710+ makes for a great first mechanical keyboard. At this price point you really won't find anything better once you consider it comes with Cherry MX Blues or Browns, has 6 macro keys, includes a 10 key and sports full multimedia controls; the only draw back I can think of would be if you are looking for a linear switches [Reds], which the G710+ does not come in. If you are looking for a keyboard that gives amazing tactile feedback accompanied by that satisfying 'click' sound the the Cherry MX Blues are going to be for you. MX Browns will give you the tactile feedback along with some audio feedback, but will be much less noticeable making for a quieter typing experience.[If you need a more in depth analysis I recommend you watch some of the videos from Linus Tech Tips on YouTube for more detail on sound and feel.]Pros :- Build Quality. This thing is built well and has a very solid feel/weight to it. Very little flex.- Functionality. Full keyboard, macro keys, multimedia controls.- All keys are on mechanical switches except media and record/bank select.- Comes with a wrist rest. While it's made of cheap plastic, most keyboards won't give you one at all and if you don't have a better one lying around; no worries.- LED back lighting- 4 brightness settings for LED back lighting, WASD brightness can be controlled separately.- Design, it's a sexy keyboard.- Logitech offers a complete cap replacement set for only $24- Caps could easily be replaced for custom ones from a shop like WASD.com- Comes with rubber o-rings, nice touch, easy to remove if you don't want them.- 3 year warranty- Logitech's amazing supportCons :- LED only comes in white. I've gotten used to it now, but still RGB would have been nice. Considering the price, I can;'t complain too much though.- Indicator lights for caps lock, numlock and scroll lock are a bit bright and can not be dimmed.- Quality control seems to be hit and miss according to forums, but the board is backed by a 3 year warranty, so that offsets it IMO, but it is something to be aware of. I myself had to exchange the first one I received because some of the switches weren't giving proper feedback, the 2nd one was flawless.- Dose not come with a key cap puller, they are only $6 so I would have really liked to see one included. **PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE YOUR CAPS WITHOUT A KEY CAP PULLER!!!**All in all a fantastic keyboard for the price. I love the Cherry MX Blues, I was a bit disappointed with the first board I received, but seeing how the 2nd one was flawless I chalked it up to luck of the draw and felt no need to knock a star off. If you are in the market for your first mechanical keyboard or want one with full functionality without needing to drop $180, the Logitech G710+ is worth your consideration.
